How much does eating locally-produced food help the climate problem? What are the other potential environmental and social benefits of eating locally-grown/produced food? Do you have a food garden in your school or at home? If not, do you want one?

Alameda Point Collaborative
In my town we have a supportive housing unit for homeless families. One of the amazing things that they do there is have a farm, on the farm they allow the people who live there to help out. By giving them this job it teaches them management skill, social skill, and they get to learn more about the environment. People in our town can sign up for a subscription to get their vegetables every month. So,not only does buying locally help the environment but it also helps the community by creating jobs and bringing in revenue.
